TS 34 : Cornea (Anatomy) 6 Layers i. Epithelium ii. Bowmann's l. iii. Stroma iv. Dua's l. (2013) v. Descement m. vi. Endothelium
Tear layer represents a functional element of the cornea
• Innervation V1 CN (ophthalmic n.)
• AVASCULAR TISSSUE!
TS 34 : Epithelium - Function
The epithelium:
a) Binds the tear layer with cornea (by reducing the liquid surface tension)
b) Makes corneal surface hydrophilic
g) Takes essential part in corneal metabolism
d) Forms an external barrier permeable to water and small molecules only
TS 34 : Stroma - Function
The stroma a. eliminates scattering of light
(patterned collagen structure)
b. maintains its transparency due to relatively low amounts of water contained. Excess water Corneal oedema Opacity
TS 34 : Endothelium - Function
The endothelium
a. Allows absorption of nutrients and H2O
b. Maintains water equilibrium K+/Na+ pumps
TS 35 : Neurotrophic keratitis
• Ophthalmic n. palsy (V1) or frequent use of anaesthetic drops
• Reduced corneal sensitivity
• Epithelial brake down – Ulcers
TS 35 : Exposure keratitis
• Facial n. palsy (VII)
• Lagophthalmos
• Corneal exposure
• Infections-Thinning
Management : Artificial tears – Oints –Patching during sleep - Tarsorrhaphy
Corneal diameter >12mm
Remarkably thin cornea
Normal IOP
Progressive increase in diameter(>12mm)
Opaque cornea
IOP (>21mmHg)
Congenital glaucoma
Buphthalmus Megalocornea
TS 36 : Congenital cornea disorders
TS 37 : Corneal inflammations
Epithelial erosion
Traumatic cause
Acute pain, photophobia, watery eye
Fluorescein staining
Prophylactic antibiotics and pressure bandage
Infiltration
Inflammatory migration of leukocytes and other inflammation products into the corneal stroma
Intact epithelium
Treatment according to the cause (mainly bacteria)
TS 37 : Corneal inflammations
Ulcer
Epithelial and stromal disruption due to inflammation
Treatment according to the cause (mainly bacteria)
Corneal scrapes
Scar
Into the stroma, intact epithelium, no staining with Fluorescein
Grey to white colour
Burn, trauma, infection, congenital disorder
Punctate epithelial keratitis manifesting 12 h after exposure to UV radiation
Usually from the electric arc during welding
Visual loss, watery eye, intense pain
Treated with instillation (only once) of anesthetic eye drops, antibiotic eye ointment and pressure bandage
TS 38 : Ultraviolet keratitis
The commonest ophthalmic manifestation of HSV
Unilateral, Superficial, Recurrent keratitis with typical dendritic ulcer
Steroid prescription or failure to treat may lead to disciform keratitis
Treatment: antiviral drugs (acyclovir), topical and per os for at least 10 days
TS 39 : Herpetic keratitis
Whitish ring in the corneal periphery
Cholesterol and lipid storage in the corneal stroma
In young patients blood lipid control should be performed whilst in older patients it has no specific pathological meaning
TS 40 : Arcus senilis/Arcus lipoides
TS 41 : Contact lenses complications
a) Giant papillary conjunctivitis
b) Punctate keratiti s
c) Subepithelial keratitis
d) Corneal neovascularization
e) Corneal ulcers
TS 42 : Chemical – Thermal burns
Most dangerous Alkali (due to greater penetration ability)
Lead to permanent scars and symblepharon
The ultimate ophthalmic emergency
Urgent : • Anesthetic eye drops
• Continuous water flushing
• pH Evaluation
• Removal of solid increments
• Referral to Ophthalmologists
Alkali burn
Battery liquid burn
TS 43 : Eyelid lacerations
• Simple lacerations Repair with 5/0 or 6/0 interrupted sutures
• Involvement of: Lid margin Lateral canthus Lacrimal canaliculi
Immediate referral to Ophthalmologist
TS 44 : Penetrating eye injury
Hx !!! (intraocular foreign body?)
FB inspection using : Rö X-rays (metal) CT
Soft eye Conjunctival chemosis Pupil distortion Leukokoria (traumatic cataract) Iris proptosis Subconjunctival pigment
Manifestations of penetrating eye injury
TS 45 : Contusio bulbi
Conjunctiva Hyposphagma
Cornea Hyphaema and iridoplegia but also…. i. Raise of intraocular pressure ii. Corneal blood staining iii. Vitreous haemorrhage iv. Retinal tears
Late complications: Secondary glaucoma Retinal detachment Cataract Phthisis bulbi
TS 46 : Cataract
What is cataract?
«Clouding of the Crystalline Lens»
TS 46 : Cataract - Types
• Cataract can be classified according to the: a) cause Senile, secondary, traumatic
b) patient age Congenital, pediatric, juvenile, senile
c) intensity Incipiens, progressive, mature, hypermature
d) localization Nuclear, cortical, subcapsular, polar
Nuclear cataract
Mature cataract
TS 46 : Lens induced glaucoma
Complication of lens hypermaturation
Phacotopic, phacolytic, phacoanaphylactic, lens particle
Surgical lens removal
Conservative treatment for
High Intraocular Pressure
Inflammation
TS 47 : Cataract surgery Absolute indication i. Lens induced glaucoma ii. Congenital
In senile cataract indication is relevant and depends on patient’s needs
Main symptoms α) Blurry distance vision β) Reduced contrast sensitivity γ) Photophobia - Halos
TS 47 : Cataract surgery
Phacoemulsification
Anesthetic eye drops
Corneal incision 2,5 mm
Capsulorrhexis
Emulsification of the lens nucleus
Aspiration of lens material
Intraocular lens implantation
